Sports Injury Prevention & Performance Programme
At Total Health West Berkshire we are excited to be offering our Sports Injury Prevention & Progression Programme to help you improve your health or improve your performance
If you have had a recent accident or injury and have started to be out of pain then you may be thinking about the rest of your recovery. And more importantly about how to stop it from happening again. Or perhaps you have recovered well from an injury and want to improve your health or improve your performance in your chosen sport or hobby. This is where our Sports injury prevention and performance programme can help.
There are many different ways to do this. Some people like to follow exercises given by a healthcare provider at home, or they may want to head to the gym.
But often what you really want is a 1-1 tailored approach to your recovery.
As part of our Pain Management & Injury services, this is what our sports injury prevention and progression programme is designed for.
The aim of the programme is to assess where you are now and to make a plan to get you where you want to be. All under the guidance of our sports therapist Elly Welburn.

Professional Experience
I completed my Level 3 Sports Massage qualification at Basingstoke College of Technology in 2018 before going on to further study BSc Sports Therapy at Solent University. During my time at Solent University, I had the opportunity to engage in a range of both sporting and clinical assessment and injuries that allowed me to challenge and improve my skills as a hands-on therapist. I am currently continuing my further education, studying for my MSc in Clinical Exercise Science at Solent University.
Throughout my time studying my BSc, I had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of athletes and everyday people, including rugby players, marathon runners and netball players. I spent my time at university in job roles within Reading Rugby Club and Portsmouth Rugby Club, providing assessments, treatments, pitch-side first aid and developing and managing rehabilitation programs; whilst also working with runners at events such as London Marathon where I have provided post-marathon treatments as part of Hospice UK. I am currently working within the Solent University Clinic, enabling me to work with a range of ages, physical limitations, and clinical diseases such diabetes, cancer and schizophrenia. My experience in both the sporting and clinical environment ensures my capability to assess individual needs, tailor sports injury prevention treatment plans and provide effective rehabilitation resulting in improved performance outcomes.
Personal Experience
My personal experience in activities such as horse riding, triathlon and netball allow me a further insight to understanding the performance and injury prevention requirements of athletes whilst gaining a more in-depth knowledge on clinical exercises sciences, I believe I can appropriately understand both individual and activity requirements ensuring the utmost appropriate assessment, treatment and development plan to be created. I am enthusiastic in combining both my passion for sport and the clinical aspect of injury assessment and treatment to obtain the best outcomes whilst fostering a positive environment.
I take great pride in ensuring I provide the best care to you as an individual to help achieve your goals and guarantee you feel the best version of yourself as part of our sports injury prevention and performance programme.
